A woman’s recent revelation has stirred a buzz online after she recounted how her fiancé vanished after convincing her to take out a ₦1.5 million loan for their wedding. She later discovered he was already married and had children.
This tale of betrayal was shared on Facebook by Fegor Chime, who detailed the woman’s distressing ordeal and sought advice from the public.
Relationship and Marriage Plans
The woman narrated that she had been in a relationship with the man for half a year before he proposed. Following their engagement, he proposed the idea of a joint savings account to fund their wedding preparations.
Placing her trust in him, she agreed, and they began depositing money into the account together.
Loan Taken for Wedding Preparation
While the man initially made modest contributions, she diligently saved a significant portion of her salary and eventually added approximately ₦420,000.
The situation escalated when he allegedly convinced her to take a ₦1.5 million loan from her workplace, assuring her that they would repay it together after the wedding. The loan is now reportedly being deducted from her salary.
Sudden Disappearance
She became worried after she could no longer reach him for four days, as his phone remained switched off.
After contacting one of his friends, she was informed that he had travelled to another state.
However, things reportedly took a shocking turn when she reached out to him via Facebook Messenger.
He allegedly told her to forget about him and move on with her life, revealing that he was already married with two children and had only come to the area for work.
In her words: “…pls I have been dating this man for 6 months and he proposed to me. Shortly after, he suggested that we open a joint savings account so we could start saving towards our marriage. I trusted him, and we both started contributing.
He initially added 6,000 and later 3,500, while I was consistently saving from my monthly salary. I have contributed about 420,000. Later, he convinced me to take a loan from my workplace, assuring me that we would repay it after the wedding.
I agreed, and I borrowed 1.5 million, which is now being deducted from my salary. As I am writing this, I have not been able to reach him for 4 days. His phone has been switched off.
I contacted his friend, and I was told he said he traveled to another state. I reached out to him on Facebook Messenger, and his response shocked me. He told me to forget about him and move on with my life that he is married with 2 kids and he only came here to work.
I am devastated. I feel lost and I cannot even breathe properly right now. Mummy help me. Why me?”
